Hike in from Road's End to these remote peaks. Hike in over Granite Pass (11 miles, 6000 ft). These are class 2 peaks ranging from 12,200 to 12, 700 feet in height. This is a Fast and Light intermediate trip with a lot of distance and elevation. Send conditioning and qualifications to leader.

I finally fufilled a longstanding goal earlier this year by visiting New Zealand. Though marginal weather meant that I did little climbing, we still had the opportunity to see and explore a wonderful country. Highlights included sea kayaking, canyoning, glacier scrambling, climbing in near-winter conditions, and hiking the Milford Track.

We will climb Whitney using the mountaineer's route. We will start from the Whitney Portal near Lone Pine, CA by 6:30 AM and plan to be back to the car before dark. We will come down the regular trail. Because of the low snowfall last winter, the couloir should be ice free. I would like to have a co-leader. The couloir may have some short Class 3 sections. Our pace will be brisk. Please send qualifications and interest to George.
